Patient's question:
The child discovered hydrocele at the age of two months, and now it has been three months since the age of one year and three months. It was discovered about a month ago, and it has been crying and screaming during that time. They said to wait and see, and to have surgery when the weather gets cold. How much does it cost to treat pediatric hydrocele?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The main cause of pediatric inguinal hernia is congenital factors. Inguinal hernia is mainly due to the failure of the processus vaginalis to close. Umbilical hernia is caused by the failure to close the umbilical ring in a timely manner. Premature and low birth weight infants are not fully developed at birth. Inguinal hernias in children over 1 year old cannot heal on their own. If the age of an umbilical hernia exceeds 4 years or the umbilical cord diameter is 2-3 cm or larger, surgical treatment should be considered. Currently, minimally invasive treatment is primarily used, with a faster recovery rate. The cost is approximately 45,000 yuan.
